Ever since my daughter discovered that not only is there such a thing as outer space, but some people actually go there, she has wanted to become an astronaut. It's not something she talks about all the time, but she has said on more than one occasion that she wants to be a "Space Girl" when she grows up.
Based on her still-ongoing obsession with bodily functions, I've nurtured a small hope that perhaps one day she will go to medical school.
Last week, we were talking about bodily functions (read: normal conversation for us) and I asked her if she might ever want to be a doctor. She replied, "No, I want to be a Space Girl!"
Then I had a brilliant idea. I said, "What if you went to medical school, then entered astronaut training and became a Space Doctor?"
I could see the wheels turning as she considered my scenario. "Yeah!" was her enthusiastic response.
My kid is awesomesauce.
